Pearl whined and pleaded with her eyes. Cleo let out a laugh, on the verge of a scoff, and immediately went back to what they were doing.

“Gem,” they drawled, as if Pearl wrapping her arms around them and nuzzling their neck was a common occurrence. Pearl liked to think otherwise. “Your dog is being needy again.”

A hot shiver ran down Pearl’s spine at their words. She shuddered against Cleo, who rolled back their shoulders.

Also my god why does she loves doing the splits so much 😭😭

I personally hate any kind morality thought policing. I'm not Catholic or religious and I do not feel guilty over my thoughts. You are not an inherently evil person because you saw two athletes in an interview and went "Hmmm...... what if...." The Feds are not going to come banging down your door because you wrote about one band member dicking down the other and sent it to your friend.

Wondering about other people's lives is very human. Being nosy about their personal lives is very normal. People have been writing fiction about other people's lives since the dawn of time. Some people even manage to write New York Times Bestselling Books that are "historical fiction" or "alternate reality." It does not make you inherently bad to be curious about the details of someone's personal life. That's being human. Being nosy is kind of fun.

The problem, however, comes with the ways in which people engage with it, and involve the real people in this. Harassing an musician's real girlfriend because it doesn't fit into the RPF ship. Showing up at real sporting events holding signs about how certain teammates should kiss. Trying to get actors to sign art of them fucking their coworker. Flooding social media with comments using the celebrity's full name and speculation. There's a line, there's a fourth wall, and there's fandom etiquette.

I hate the question of "Is RPF ethical" because it feels like morality thought policing. Post your fics on locked accounts, censor someone's name when you tweet about it, blow up your groupchat with hundreds of "DID YOU SEE THE WAY THEY LOOKED AT EACH OTHER??" texts. It's not inherently evil to wonder what other people are doing when they're out of the spotlight. Kill the cop in your mind.

Alright, let’s do this! Gemtho Fortnight 3: the Reckoning!

How this goes: y'all send in GeminiTay/Etho prompts over the next few weeks, I write 14 ficlets, and then I post them across a fortnight.

Rules:

Filling prompts is at my discretion (aka, not all prompts will be filled). I’ll pick 14 for the event and maybe if I’m feeling brave, I’ll fill more later.

Make sure Gemtho is the focus of your prompt! It doesn’t have to be filthy or even shippy, but they have to be there!

You can send in whatever prompts you want, but if there are any themes/kinks I’m not down with, I’ll ignore them.

Send them on or off anon. Whatever you’re comfortable with.

I probably won’t fill prompts that are super similar to the previous years, so try to spice things up! [2024 fills] [2025 fills]

If you care, you need to specify whether your prompt is for RPF or characters. Otherwise, I will pick and it will most likely be RPF.
